SAD, EMBARRASSED & DISAPPOINTED

TODAY I LEARNED THAT THE LITTLE QUILT I SENT MY SWAPPER, SHE DID NOT LIKE. MY MACHINE QUILTING WAS REALLY HORRIBLE, BUT I THOUGHT THE PATTERN AND THE MATERIAL AND THE FACT THAT I HAND PIECED IT (AND IT TOOK ME 3 MONTHS), SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED IT THE WAY I DID. BUT, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.

I RECEIVED A LITTLE QUILT FROM ANOTHER SWAPPER, WHICH WAS WELL MADE AND PUT TOGETHER SO I AM GOING TO SEND HER MINE. THAT WAY I FEEL SHE HASN'T LOST OUT ON RECEIVING A LITTLE QUILT THAT IS ADORABLE.

WOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER JOIN ONE OF THESE SWAPS AGAIN, AS THIS HAS REALLY TAKEN THE AIR OUT OF ME.

ALL THE FABRICS WERE OF HIGH QUALITY AND I TRIED TO MEET HER EXPECTATIONS OF THE RIGHT COLOR GREEN, POLKA DOTS, ETC. BUT THE BORDER FABRIC SHE DOES NOT CARE FOR, WHICH IS FINE, JUST I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY PRETTY.

ANOTHER LIFE LESSON, I GUESS...
